Jay-Z Reportedly Set to Headline Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show

Reports indicate that Jay-Z has selected himself to headline the Super Bowl LXI halftime show, scheduled for February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. This information was revealed in a report by journalist Dave Brooks from Puck on October 20, 2026.

Multiple sources have confirmed that Jay-Z, the founder of Roc Nation, will perform, although neither the NFL nor Roc Nation has officially confirmed this selection. This performance would be significant as it marks the first time the 56-year-old rapper will headline the Super Bowl halftime show, despite his influential role in shaping the event through his partnership with the NFL, which began in 2019 and was renewed in 2024 for an additional five years.

Prior to Jay-Z's reported selection, pop stars Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber were also considered for the performance. An official announcement regarding the halftime show is expected during Jay-Z's performances at SoFi Stadium on October 23 and 24.
